Ultraman: Noah's big one at the beginning

"Wait, so in this technologically advanced, mechanical wasteland world, Ultraman still plays the role of 'space police'."

"No, since these are all robots modeled after Ultraman, it means that Ultraman originally existed in this universe. Where are the Ultraman?"

"If they are all still here, why has this universe become a wasteland dominated by robots?"

"What are you saying?" The staff member had his hands behind his back. Although he had a young face, he exuded an old-fashioned aura.

"Hurry up and let 012134 in. There are fewer and fewer order management personnel. No robot is willing to make selfless contributions. We have been hoping for a new order management personnel to appear."

Gu Jia discovered a new problem and asked in confusion, "A new one? How did it appear?"

The staff replied, "There is a dedicated robot supply and manufacturing point over in the M78 Nebula. They coordinate resources in the universe, assign roles, and manufacture robots."

"However, no work has been done there for hundreds of years. The last robot they created was said to be incredibly powerful, but it has disappeared."

Staff member: "Are you curious about that side?"

"Stop thinking about it. What you should be doing right now is going to the robot prison to serve your sentence! You are a sinner who dared to speak ill of the ancient ancestors!"

Gu Jia: "..."

"First of all, I didn't do what happened to the Ancient Ancestor on purpose, and I sincerely apologize. Also, could you tell me something else about the Ancient Ancestor's story?"

"I'd like to know more..."

Staff member: "Organic life forms that seek information about ancient ancestors can be prosecuted as espionage."

Gu Jia: "..."

"Your laws... no wonder they've driven away all organic life forms!"

Staff member: "You dare to talk nonsense about our laws! You're finished!"

"Alright!" Ex's authoritative voice came from the terminal.

"Say another word and I'll throw you all in jail!"

"I'll start with the second one from the left. That body looks most like my former self. Let's use that one first."

As an order management robot, X has a natural authority over ordinary robots. After saying a few words, the staff dared not complain in the slightest and obediently helped him move his body.

Two minutes later, the data transfer was complete, and X gained a new body that allowed him to move freely: "There's a slight lag when I turn my neck, but it's acceptable."

X looked at Guga: "What are your plans next?"

Gu Jia smiled: "You should know what I'm going to say, right?"

"I'm not going to prison yet. I want to go to the M78 Nebula in this universe. I'm sure I can learn more about this world there."

Chapter 358 Plasma Spark Core?

After X gains a new body, Guga prepares to go with him to see the M78 Nebula in this universe.

According to the robots at the supply station, the M78 Nebula has a robot manufacturing plant, which should be considered the core area of ​​this mechanical wasteland, where more useful information can definitely be found.

As for serving time in prison... Guga never even considered actually going.

Anyway, with X, who has high authority, by my side now, I'm not afraid of being troubled by other robots.

“Okay, I’ll go with you.” Ex nodded.

"No!" the robot beside her said firmly.

"That's a forbidden area. Even if you're an order-maintaining robot, you still don't have the necessary permissions!"

Gu Jia: "Then let's wander around the neighborhood."

The staff member next to him continued to shake his head: "You are a sinner. You are not qualified to move around in the universe. Go to prison to serve your sentence. That's the only thing you can do now."

"I won't let you go, I'll stop you with my life!"

"This is so troublesome." Gu Jia felt that these robots were all incredibly stubborn.

"Ex, can you smash them all to death?"

"It's a bit too sensitive for me, an organic being, to do this kind of thing."

X nodded and stretched his arms and legs.

On the other side, the staff member who had just been firm and resolute suddenly softened: "In principle, I won't let you pass, but if you want to use force, I can't stop you. Go away."

Gu Jia chuckled at the sight: "He's principled, but very pragmatic."

And so, Guga and X set off again for the M78 Nebula.

Right after the two of them left, the robots playing around in the robot supply depot suddenly changed their expressions.

"They're back, they're finally back."

"After all that effort, he came back because of this coincidence."

"Going to M78 is perfect for us; whether we can upgrade depends on this!"

……

The M78 Nebula.

This was originally the star field that Guga was most familiar with, because the elementary school geography classes in the Land of Light would teach about the planetary composition, orbits, climate, and ecology of the M78 Nebula.

However, this parallel universe's M78 is vastly different from other parallel universes.

Different planetary layouts lead to greater differences in environment.

This area is less a robot manufacturing site and more a dumping ground for steel waste.

Throughout the space, various metal components float everywhere. The biggest difference between this place and a landfill is that landfills sort their waste, while this place does not.

"Are there no living robots left here?" Standing on the mountain of metal scrap, Guga looked at X beside him.

X rested one hand on his headphones, his eyes gleaming as he scanned the surroundings like a scanner: "Wait for my scan results."

Half a minute later, X shook his head: "Couldn't find a robot that can communicate..."

Gu Jia sighed, then suddenly bent down and picked something up from the pile of garbage.

X: "This is... a suit?"

"I guess it's the suit of one of your kind of order-maintaining robots," Guga said, comparing the suit to X's current body.

"It feels warm to the touch, just like the skin of a real Ultraman..."

After saying that, he threw the leather case into his storage space and continued rummaging through the trash.

As he rummaged through the items, he discovered another suspicious object: "Hey? What's this lump of frozen meat?"

"Isn't this a machine world? Robots eat meat?"

"Could it be used for experiments? Like monster dissection... But this lump of meat isn't even formed properly; it's like they just ground up a monster."

“I don’t understand the thought process of those researchers either.” Ax spread his hands, expressing his bewilderment.

The two flew and talked all the way over the garbage mountain, and finally arrived at the Land of Light two days later.

What's puzzling is that while the entire M78 Nebula has become a massive garbage dump, the area near the Land of Light is remarkably clean.

Even the enormous Land of Light still radiates an emerald glow, exactly as Guga remembered.

Upon realizing this, Guga and Ex exchanged glances, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes.

Ex was certain: "There's definitely someone here who can communicate!"

Just before they were about to leave, Guga grabbed X: "Can you fly in? Didn't they say you don't have enough permissions?"

"Won't you suddenly explode and die when you get close to the Land of Light's defense network?"

"No problem, it's probably due to data loss. My access to this world is useless to me now," X said, patting his chest.

And so, following the route into the Land of Light from Guga's memories, the two traversed the passages and landed at the Ultra Space Port in the Land of Light.

In the lobby of Ultra Space Port, Guga saw familiar faces.

These figures in front of him seemed to be real Ultraman. Although they couldn't move, they didn't have the iconic 'headphones' of the mechanical Ultraman, which made Kuuga feel extremely familiar with them.

"Is time frozen in this Land of Light?" Guga muttered to himself as he approached one of the Ultramen and poked it with his finger.

"Om~"

The moment the finger was extended, it pierced directly into the body of the person in front of it, without the fingertip feeling anything solid.

“It’s a projection.” Gu Jia’s eyes flickered, unable to hide his disappointment.

Next, he and X tested all the Ultramen and finally determined that all the Ultramen in the Ultra Space Port hall were projections.

"The buildings are real, but Ultraman is fake. Everything here is a bit too strange." Guga felt a chill run down his spine for no reason, and subconsciously wanted to escape this fake world.

"Should we continue going deeper?" Ax also had a bad feeling and a desire to back out arose in his heart.

"I want to go see the Plasma Spark Tower. If there's anything in this Land of Light, it must be inside the Plasma Spark Tower." Guga looked at the tower in the distance that radiated eternal light.

Ex hesitated, then said, "Actually..."

“You don’t have to go.” Guga noticed X’s hesitation.

"This place is incredibly eerie; you don't need to risk your life with me any further."

After saying that, he took off from the familiar entrance of the Ultra Space Port and flew towards the distant tower.

A few minutes later, Guga landed at the bottom of the Plasma Spark Tower. After calming his excitement, he stepped into the gate at the bottom of the tower.

At the entrance of the Plasma Spark Tower, two guards wielding Ultra Spears stood like wooden statues, watching Kuga enter without making a single move.

Guga only considered the two as projections, so he didn't take them seriously.

However, just after Guga entered the tower, the two guards at the entrance moved...

……

Inside the plasma spark tower.

The sound of Gujia's footsteps echoed in the empty environment.

Guga climbed the spiral staircase smoothly to the top of the Plasma Spark Tower.

On the top floor, Gu Jia clutched his chest, looking flustered.

Not far from him, where the plasma spark core should have been, the core had vanished, and instead, the head of an Ultraman was emitting light...

Chapter 359 Gujia: My Origins?!

The Unknown Realm, the Kingdom of Light.

In order to uncover the truth of this world, Guga came to the Land of Light in this parallel universe, climbed the Plasma Spark Tower, and saw the so-called "Plasma Spark Core".

In other parallel universes, the Spark Core is a luminous object with a handheld base, but in front of Guga is the head of an Ultraman.

Two head-mounted spikes, plus extremely aggressive triangular eyes—this is Zero's head.

At the top of the Plasma Spark Tower, Guga and Zero's heads locked eyes, a bizarre and eerie scene.

"Why……"

Even someone as mentally resilient as Gu Jia couldn't take it anymore. He plopped down on the cold ground, feeling his mind become even more tangled.

"Can anyone explain the truth of this world to me...?"

Gu Jia muttered to himself.

Just then, Karen's voice came to his ear: "Go to the Science and Technology Bureau."

"You're awake?" Gu Jia asked in surprise, then realized something was wrong: "You're not Kallen?"

The familiar voice rang out once again: "You can call me Karen; it's a privilege I'm granting you."

Guga: "Going to the Science and Technology Bureau will answer my questions? Then can you tell me what's wrong with Zero's head first?"

"Karen" simply repeated: "Go to the Science and Technology Bureau."

In order to unravel the mysteries of this world, Guga chose to believe her and flew straight out from the top of the Plasma Spark Tower, following the route he remembered to the Science and Technology Bureau.

On the way, he asked "Karen" questions more than once, but she didn't answer any of them.

In addition, to ensure his own safety, Guga also tried to communicate with Noah in his mind.

Unfortunately, Noah seemed to be busy and did not respond.
